Product Details & Size Guide
Connect everyday style with Cleveland's retail past in this Sterling Lindner Davis men's sport polo shirt. The store's 1951 name joined the histories of Sterling & Welch, Lindner Co., and W. B. Davis Co. at a time when downtown Cleveland's Theater District drew shoppers to Euclid Avenue. Known for its wide-ranging merchandise and a decorated Christmas tree tradition dating to 1927, the retailer remained part of the city's story until 1968. A considered choice for Cleveland history fans and department-store collectors.
Sterling Lindner Davis was a major department store in downtown Cleveland's Theater District, formed from Sterling & Welch, Lindner Co., and W. B. Davis Co. Sterling & Welch dated to 1845. Lindner & Davis was acquired by Allied Stores in 1947; Allied then bought Sterling & Welch, and the combined store became known as Sterling Lindner Davis in 1951. The store operated until 1968, closing amid the growth of malls and outlets. At its height, it was part of Cleveland's prominent group of six downtown department stores, alongside May, Higbee's, Bailey's, Taylor's, and Halle. Shoppers came to Euclid Avenue for goods ranging from clothing and jewelry to furniture and housewares. The retailer was especially known for displaying what was described as Ohio's largest decorated Christmas tree, a tradition begun in 1927. The tree tradition is sometimes associated with another Cleveland store in the 1983 film A Christmas Story, but the supplied source attributes it to Sterling Lindner Davis. By the end of the 1990s, none of Cleveland's big six remained in operation.
